Vidéo : Loverman avec Daisy Ray – Would (Right In Front Of Your Eyes)

« Le chagrin d’amour est le point de départ de l’album, mais ce dernier capture tout autant la joie et l’énergie que l’on ressent en communiant avec ses proches et ses amis dans un environnement extatique. Cette tendresse crée des moments d’une réelle beauté » explique James De Graef alias Loverman. On a du mal à croire que c’est le même dans sa combi moule burnes avec feu le quintet belge Shht. Alors oui, Lovesongs n’est pas l’album le plus gai du monde par sa thématique, la rupture et les affres de celui qui a été trahi. Et pourtant c’est un classique instantané de chansons crépusculaires évoquant la brûlure de la solitude. Il laisse alors l’amour entrer malgré tout malgré les désillusions. Avec son physique de Nosferatu qui pourrait nous glacer le sang, ses chansons réchauffent les cœurs écorchés, lacérés, ouverts. Would (Right In Front Of Your Eyes) est une danse, un corps à corps, un baroud avant la fin, undo what’s done and start over today.

Loverman avec Daisy Ray – Would (Right In Front Of Your Eyes)

I’d ‘ve liked you to be around today
You packed your bags with not much left to say
Do what you’ve got to do, I’ll see you when I do
I’d ‘ve liked you to come along to stay
I was headed for trouble and you went the other way
Something I really should do, put myself in your shoes

No I don’t like it when all we seem to do is pray
A sorry excuse for looking the other way
Whatever you do I’ll only have this to say

Right in front of your eyes
It’ll disappear
Right in front of your eyes
It’ll disappear
Right in front of your eyes
They’re all smiling

Like a knife on edge someone should pay today
Cut ‘em down and make ‘em feel what’s real pain
Something you’ve got to do, put yourself in their shoes
I’d ‘ve liked you to disappear without a trace
You left a hurt no drug would take away
The doctors sent me walking said it would ease the pain
I can’t stay tonight if I’m giving us a chance
You’ll keep on grinning long as I know how to dance
Meet me when I get there, I know I can count on you

Right in front of your eyes
It’ll disappear
Right in front of your eyes
It’ll disappear
Right in front of your eyes
They’re all smiling
They’re all smiling
Could you keep them from smiling ?

I’d ’ve liked for us to make it all go away
Undo what’s done and start over today
We’ll go side by side and spread the good, good word

Make our cries be heard
Make our cries be heard
Make our cries be heard
Make our cries be heard
Make our cries be heard
Make our cries be heard
Make our cries be heard
